UPDATE #2: Rusty Kuntz. Need I say more?UPDATE #1: Clete Thomas absolutely needs to be on this roster. Replaced Endy Chavez.
It's Tuesday. There's tons of baseball talk going on and great games later tonight. Unfortunately, I will be stuck in the library for most of the day as finals slowly eat away at my mind, body, and soul.
But in the mean time, I thought this was a fun idea: compiling a roster of the best names in major league baseball today. So have some fun with this, and please comment on who needs to be included on the roster.

Dan Haren is a pretty good one too. I don't know, that name just sort of has a baseball "ring" to it.
Of course, every team needs coaches, and Razor Shines is one for the Mets this year
Devon,
Amen. You could not be more correct, sir.
what about Clete Thomas? A true baseball name if I ever heard one.
Love that you included my Farnsworthless.
You can't have Farnsy without Sir Sidney Ponson, though
The Reds have a coach named Dick Pole.
Also, Pujols belongs on the list somewhere. Here are some actual things I've heard broadcasters say:
"Pujols ripped one right at him!"
"These Cardinals players really feed off of Pujols."
"Nobody can quiet the thunderous Pujols."
etc
Fukudome is also a good one.
And there was a player in the WBC whose name was Bum Ho Lee. Seriously. It was amazing.
DICK POLE.
word.
How could you forget about Rusty Kuntz?
Sidney Ponson is only under consideration if I can call him "Sir Sidney"
Is good ole' Rusty Kuntz still around?
Milton Bradley over Willie Bloomsquist and Endy Chavez. Also, no love for Coco Crisp?
Have to also throw in Rocky Cherry as my personal favorite. Homer Bailey?
Not an MLBer, but the Cubs have a prospect named Darwin Barney.
Maybe you could have a minor league section.
Bradley and Crisp are musts.
I cannot believe I forgot about them. D'oh!
Marco Scutaro
Russ Ohlendorf
Dexter Fowler
Lastings Milledge?
Milledge needs to be on this list somehow...even if he is in the minors right now...hmmm
Rusty Kuntz is the first base coach for the Royals and has been there for the past few years.
Absolutely perfect.
Elijah Dukes
What about Homer Bush?
I can't believe you haven't mentioned Boof Bonser.
